A/N: Hey guys! As usual I want to thank-you for the great response. A few of you wanted Emily and JJ to stay friends others wanted me to take it further, so I think what I'll do is start out small but do not fret there will be a romantic life between the two eventually. So I hope I didn't disappoint anyone too much and I hope you enjoy the forth chapter.

Emily paced up and down the long waiting room hall; her heart racing at a speed she didn't think was possible. They had gotten JJ and Abby into the awaiting ambulance as soon as possible but that thought did nothing to help Emily's nerves. The whole team (minus Rossi who had taken the unsub in to interrogate) was waiting for JJ's results each one of them were on edge. Reid hadn't said a single word since he had gotten to the hospital, which was a bad sign as he was usually spurting out facts where ever they were. Garcia was an emotional wreck, one moment she was sobbing into Morgan's shoulder the next she was about ready to knock any passer by unconscious. Derek was pissed; Emily had never seen him this seething before. As a friend he wanted to be there for JJ, but as the protective big brother figure he was on the verge of shooting out the door and beating the bastard who did this to her until he saw blood. Hotch however was in an eerie calm state. It was as if he was on auto-pilot, but Emily could see the worry line penetrating his fore head. Emily herself was a sea of emotion varying from worry to anger to nervousness. The blonde was her best friend (sometimes Emily wished what they had was more then friendship). She had no idea how to live her life without the beautiful media liason.

As soon as the doctor stepped foot in the waiting room both Emily and Garcia were on him in a flash. Emily's already galloping heart rate quickened and Derek had to hold her up so she wouldn't collapse in anxiety.

"Jennifer Jareau?" He asked though he knew right away just by looking at them.

"Doctor-" Garcia checked his name plate before continuing in a voice that said 'mess with me and you die. Got it?' "If I don't here this instant that my girl is going to as healthy and as perfect as ever before, I will not be able to stop myself from shoving that stethoscope you have around you neck up your ass." The man looked bewildered at this comment and even further shocked when the tech goddesses team did nothing to reprimand her words. He quickly shook it off though as he realized these people had been waiting for any news at all about their colleague for a good 7 hours.

"Well I am afraid I come with both news good and bad." He glanced over at Garcia just to make sure he was in the safe zone before saying more. "We were able to bring agent Jareau into a stable health state but this could change at any time. She suffered a few hard blows to the head giving her a minor concussion, that is probably the least of her worries right now but concussions are unpredictable so that could change any minute. Mr. Straight has broken several of her ribs and on of those has punctured her lungs making her breathing unstable; we were able to secure that for now. As for the stab wounds and her dislocated shoulder they will be fine and heal in time." Everyone's breathing was shallow. Emily wasn't sure weather she wanted to cry tears of joy because her friend was alive, or break down sobbing because of the pain JJ would have to endure. Garcia seemed to having this same eternal battle and eventually the sobbing option won over her.

"And Abigail Waltz?" Hotch was the first to ask about the little girl, but his voice seemed to crack as he absorbed the news about JJ.

"Will be fine. She's suffering from a minor case of dehydration and has a broken leg, but apart from that she's fine. We are still working on who is to take her in, after what's happened the couple that were supposed to adopt her backed out. They were worried that she would be quite affected by this event and they were not interested in raising a 'delinquent' child.

"What kind of fucking bullshit is that?" Emily's motherly instincts kicked into over gear as she heard this. "That child needs a good home and someone supportive to look out for her after what happened. Not some crap ass people who are too good for a child who needs their help." Just as she was about to go on another rampage defending the 7 year old a nurse walked into the waiting room.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but Jennifer Jareau has woken up. I thought you should know." She directed he attention to the doctor for a moment and said " She's been asking about Abigail Waltz constantly and I didn't know if the information was up for grabs." Emily couldn't help but smile at this. Leave it to JJ to ask if someone else was ok when she herself had just woken up from surgery. "She's been asking for all of you. I ask you not to over whelm her with questions right now seeing as we just got her into a stable heart beat."

The team almost ran to JJ's hospital room before the nurse was even finished talking. Garcia was first to enter her room; Emily right on her heals.

"There's my girl, how you feelin' buttercup?" Garcia asked quietly as she entered the room. JJ raised her eyebrow quizzically as if she had just been asked the most obvious thing in the world. Emily could not help but find it adorable.

"Amazing, you know I was just about to call up the NFL and ask them if they needed a quarter back, cause you know I'm available broken arm be damned." JJ said sarcastically and Garcia playfully nudged her. The team couldn't help but chuckle at the playful banter the two friends shared. Emily sat down next to the bed and observed the blonde's state, this did not go unnoticed by JJ. "It's not your fault you know." JJ said reaching over to touch the brunette's arm. "I told you I'd be fine, your not to blame for my stubbornness." Emily searched for any anger in the beautiful agents eyes and found nothing so she nodded.

JJ's attention was suddenly on Hotch, "there's a matter I want to discuss with you." Her voice was serious but her eyes showed a trace of hesitation and nervousness.

"JJ I don't really think your in the condition to be talking business right now-" He was cut off by JJ

"It's important, I've been giving it a lot of thought and I know it would take major organization and responsibility, but I'm pretty high on the responsible scale. So uh I want to adopt Abigail." The room fell silent around her.

A/N: So there it is please review and tell me if you liked the chapter and if you have any ideas I'm open to them. Thanks again for all the support
